Ikvizi was a male Geonosian scientist who worked at the old Geonosian research station on Yavin 4 a few years before the Battle of Yavin. After he left the station, Ikvizi journeyed to the city of Kachirho on the planet Kashyyyk to study the Wookiees. A short time after the destruction of the Death Star, a group of Trandoshan slavers framed Ikvizi for a crime, because he had found their base in the forests where they tortured their Wookiee slaves. While he was in the Kachirho prison, he came upon a spacer who agreed to help the captive Geonosian get out of the mess. After Ikvizi was freed from jail, he gave the spacer a handsome reward.
